Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | This new vehicle has steering that tends to wander from side to side while driving on various types of roads. On urban interstate travel it is necessary to be very vigilant when driving in the lanes as the car will often head for the edge of the lane without warning. This tendency is balanced between both left and right, and does not seem to be predictable. Took the vehicle to the dealer and the head mechanic drove the car. They specified that the vehicle was to manufacturer's specifications. I find that the attention that must be paid to maintain the vehicle within the roadway lanes is tiring and far exceeds any other vehicle i have driven. |
